On Saturday night, hubby and I went out to a late dinner (after the movie). Since it was nine o'clock and most of the eating establishments on the northern NC beaches close at ten, we were a little limited. Combine that with the fact that I was starving, since the last thing I had eaten was a salad at twelve. The only thing consumed since then was water and beer.
We decided to stop at Outback. Chain resturaunt not native to the OBX. Same menu you could find anywhere else in the U.S. At the moment, I didn't care. Settled on the Alice Springs Chicken with Aussie Fries. It still took them 35 minutes to get our food to us- which was warm, not hot- and the waitress only stopped by three times throughout the meal. It was not the best chicken I've ever had- not even close. But I ate it all anyway. If I'm paying $14.50 for something, I'm going to eat it. So I would give this visit a 2.5 out of 5. I've been there before and the food and service have been better. Hope it gets better before the summer season kicks in. Tourists aren't as nice as I am.

I'm really not a big fan of the chain steakhouses. Over-priced and on the whole fair food.
I've only eaten at an Outback three times having only had a mediocre meal once which was in Seattle.
I had coq au vin last night dining at the home of some friends. Yummy.
All I ever get is the Alice Springs chicken, and I get mercilessly teased by the hubs for it.. He says it's just backward to order chicken in a steakhouse, but I can't help it.. I just love the stuff!!!!!
Outback is overrated.
Its been a long time since I've been to outback, at least 5 years. My hubby always wants to go to outback and I always convince him to go elsewhere. Maybe we will give it a shot one of these days.
